Yippee 2 days in a row with cards. I know you are thinking, "it's about time." Life has really gotten in the way of my stamping lately. Then throw in all the camping, and I am in withdrawal. Well the new caddie is out, so I am determined to try and get back to stamping every day!!

This card is for the CAS challenge today on SCS. We were to draw inspiration from this beautiful Wedding Cake site, you can see it here. Talk about inspiration, WOW. You could get tons of inspiration for all your elegant cards -- go take a peek. I chose the cake that you can see here. I love the black, white, and red color combo. I changed mine to Vanilla, Black and Red but you get the gist.

This is a new Hostess Level 1 stamp set from the new caddie. You are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this flower, I do. I also used the new Newsprint DP. I think this paper is so versatile, but it's especially great for vintage cards. I sponged around my image and on the DP with Blush Blossom. I usually use Creamy Caramel to "distress" my cards, but I am liking the blush blossom. What do you think?

It's so exciting for us in the UK looking at all the fab things you are making with the goodies from your new catalogue. Love this hostess set and adore the card you've made with it. That DP - it's gorgeous! Nearly fainted when I clicked on the wedding cake site!

In the beginning I CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) a lot, which is perfectly fine -- I encourage it. If you want to copy one of my cards to give to someone go right ahead, that's why they are here. If you are a Stampin' UP! demo and would like to use my card for a class or workshop that's OK too. Just please do not submit any of my original work to any contest or publication.

If you do find inspiration from one of my creations send me a email or leave me a comment. I would love to see your creation too. :o)
